Extension summary
Many blogs and articles add reference links to Research Papers (like Arxiv Preprints). This extension allows you to quickly view their Abstracts in the same page.
By previewing any linked references in any WebPage, it greats simplifies the reading experience on the web for research articles. Instead of opening papers in multiple tabs just to read the abstract, you can read the abstract right in the website linking the paper.
This works seamlessly on independent blogs, websites and also on popular platforms like Distill, Medium, Arxiv-Vanity, MadeWithML.
AbstractAnywhere doesn't scan your webpage without your permission. To show abstracts on the webpage, click on the extension and click "Fetch Arxiv Abstracts". All Arxiv abstracts on the page are found and they are highlighted in Yellow. Hovering over any of these links shows you it abstract.
